It was an incredible game within the context of the biggest surprise in La Liga over the weekend when Girona was trailing 0-2 but managed to secure a 5-2 victory over “Almeria.” This victory brought them level on points with the league leader, “Real,” and with El Clasico taking place this weekend, it’s a significant opportunity for a club that was in the second division just two seasons ago to finish higher than everyone else. Naturally, this is the strongest start to the season for Girona, a record that wasn’t easily achieved. Two out of three victories came in their last three home matches, and considering the eight goals conceded during that time, their attackers might need to work hard again. Players who won’t be able to participate in this match for Girona include Artero, Bernardo, Garcia, Justin, Juan Carlos, Roca, Tsygankov, and Villa, who has a knee injury.
A meeting with one of the weakest attacking lines in the division could be a bonus for Girona as Celta from Vigo arrives here in the relegation zone, averaging just one goal per game in the league. Unlike the hosts, this is Celta’s worst start in the top league since the introduction of the three-point system for a win in 1995. This has led to speculation that Rafa Benitez’s job may be in jeopardy. Another striking contrast to Girona’s incredible ability to defend is Celta’s obvious inability to hold onto a lead. This season, the visitors have gone ahead four times but have only managed to win once. This includes each of their last two away games in which they led 2-0 and 1-0 but ended up losing both matches. Not available for today’s match for Celta are Aidoo, Peres, Ristich, and Villar, who is suspended. More soccer football prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
